The Confederate flag wasn't raised over the SC Capitol until 1962, in defiance of the Civil Rights Movement. #TakeItDownSC

- The ORIGINAL #essencefest poster. 27 years ago. What was supposed to be a ONE-time party, when I was Mayor of New Orleans, has grown into this beautiful celebration. A party with a purpose! RIP to these artists who were with us the very first Essence Fest who are no longer here
- WH advisor #DinaPowell, @IvankaTrump, #SBA admin @Linda_McMahon met today w/ grads of @NatUrbanLeague Entrepreneurship Ctrs, @GS10KSmallBiz
- Landed at ACCRA airport to some familiar faces! 🇬🇭 Honored to be invited by Vice President Kamala Harris on her trip to Ghana where her engagements will be about strengthening partnerships and increasing investments to facilitate economic growth and opportunities.
- URGENT: The Trump Administration cannot be allowed to use the #Coronavirus crisis as an excuse to suspend civil rights laws. This is an outrageous act of bad faith and must be reversed immediately!
- Because women's rights are human rights: @NatUrbanLeague is proud to be a partner in @womensmarch #WomensMarch #whyIMarch
- Proud to support @NYGovCuomo as he signs legislation to reinstate public nuisance liability for gun manufacturers in NYS and first-of-its-kind Executive Order declaring a Disaster Emergency on #gunviolence. Other states should follow suit immediately.
- History: #Reagan budget cuts created epidemic of homelessness & drug violence b/c hope & progress of previous 20 years stripped away
- Great meeting with @PeteButtigieg today at the @NatUrbanLeague offices. We look forward to hosting him alongside 9 other presidential candidates next week at our Annual Conference in #Indianapolis! #NULCONF19 #Getting2Equal
- Trump's own intelligence chiefs did not identify the southern border as a national security threat. The real threat is #Russia & other foreign interlopers & saboteurs in our democratic process #StateOfTheUnion
- Black unemployment is down, but remains TWICE the rate of white unemployment. #StateOfTheUnion
- The PPP bill scheduled for a vote in the Senate today is an insult to Black small business owners left behind in the pandemic. They need real relief, now, and McConnell's feeble response doesn't even come close.More than half of Black-owned #SmallBusiness may close without adequate federal relief -- and PPP alone isn't enough. They need MBDA grants & investments in community-based & minority-owned financial institutions included in #HEROESAct but missing from Senate's weak alternative.
- Today is the beginning of a movement of resistance. We will resist any effort to turn back the hands of time. #WeShallNotBeMoved
